\ eSterdayS game between Chicago
and st. Paul was full of pleasant, eXcit-
ing. unfortunate and surprising turns.
The contest was a long one. but the epi-
SodeS were so numerous and the result
so to the taste of the majority of the
spectators that scarcely person left
the grounds before Arson struck out,
ending the game, at 5:15. AnSOn left no
doubt as to his identity. for in the third
inning he kicked on Umpire Kellogg
with great emphasis, and refused to go
on with the game until change was
made. Foster, of Minneapolis, was Sc
lected after fifteen minutes delay, and
the contest went forward. In the last
half of the fourth inning the game was
again SuSpended-thiS time for the pres
entatiOn of the GLOBE trophies. The
sporting editor of the paper stepped to
the plate and presented Mr., Foster with
the splendid silver bat for having the
best batting average of any player in
the Twin Cities for the season of 1887: :
Mr.. SOwderS with the pitchers gold
medal, for having the best fielding rec
ord while pitching of any pitcher in
the Twin Cities. and Mr.. Cleveland with
the EOme-run gold medal, for having
made more home runs on the st. Paul
grounds than any other Northwestern
league player. These presentations
hSit SISClC0 Will
THREE ROUNDS OF APPLAUSE,
and the game once more went merrily
on. During the last half of the fourth
inning SOwderS was seen TO make a
close examination of his pitching arm,
and, after the first half of the fifth
had been played. complained that he
had so sprained it that he must retire.
(After the game he said the injury was
not a serious one) Duryea was then
dressed up in his summer uniform and
came forth to do battle with the White
Stockings. For the closing five innings
the game was hurried along. Cyclone"
Jim was quite too much for the eX-
champions. But one man reached first
in the five innings and he was caught
mapping. SOwderS gave one man base
on balls, and two real hits are scored
against him. One of these was scratch.
In the third inning Darling hit the ball
high into the right field, where either
Shafer or Earle could have easily taken
it, but the binding glare of the sun
prevented either from seeing it. Will
Hanson and Pfeffer undertook to make
q few circus catches to please the grand
stand. and each got in couple of errors.
Sprague, the pitcher, was very unsteady
throughout, and the magnificent back
stopping of Darling is all that saved
him from
A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
Tebeau's play in right field was pretty
and sharp. Petit and Burns had little
to do. and Ryan nothing. Arson covered
first in excellent style. and kept his
eyes on the st. Paul pitchers all the
time while they were in the box. All
the home players worked hard for
victory throughout. The three errors
were made by Werrick and Crooks.

it. and threw a tri1e wild. Crooks
failed to stop Pfetfer'S hard-hit grOunder,
but redeemed himself by taking much
more difficult one sent at him by Burns.
The sprinting of the st. Paul players
was of high order. Pickett and Earle
each beat the ball to first on infield hits,
and the pair stole three bases. Chicago
scored only once in the game. Petit
opened the last half of the first inning
with magnificent drive to left center
from short to first, and Burns on high
foul fly to Kemmler. Arson hit the
ball slowly along the left foul line, and
Werrick made desperate effort to get
it in time. He got it neatly, but threw
little wild, Arson getting to first and
Petit scoring. st. Paul scored first in
the third inning. Sowders got base on
balls and stole second. Williamson's
tumble let him to third and Kemmler to
first. Sprague then let Murphy's
grounder get away from him and the
bases were full. Wilmot's base ON balls
forced SOwderS home. Shafer hit to
short, who cut off Kemmler at the plate.
Darling threw the ball to first, and the
general impression was that it reached
AnSon'S hands before Shafer got to the
bag. Umpire Kellogg, however, decided
Shafer safe.
THIS AGITATED ANsoN

to protest. Murphy foolishly started
for home and AnSon cut him off at third.
Petit retained the ball, but Wilmot.

There were three men out, but Anson
persisted in his kick and Foster was
substituted as umpire. The score re-

when Pickett hit the ball to Williamson

second and went to third on Pfeffers

tumble gave Earle a life and he stole
